- INSTALL THE SOFTWARE!!! This is critical but normally it is very easy IF you are running Windows OS and you have a stable up-to-date computer.  Which version of Visual C# should you install?  Check to see if your computer can install the 2010 or the 2012 version of the software.  If you have an older computer, you may not be able to install the latest and greatest.  You can install the Express version (Free) or the Full version of the software (IDE).  The Full version is now FREE!! from Microsoft.

- You can download C# Express 2012 or 2010 from Microsoft.  The Express Version is the condensed version of the software but it is perfect for this class.  Or, you can click here and join Dreamspark and Download the FULL version of Visual Studio for FREE!!  At DreamSpark, register using Butler Community College of El Dorado for the free educational version of Visual Studio.  I will be using the full version of the IDE in the examples and the textbook will be using Version 2012.
